Virginia: official power outage sources
Dominion Energy, Appalachian Power and Kentucky Utilities (Old Dominion Power) are Virginia's investor-owned utilities. Thirteen electric cooperatives and many city and town utilities, such as Danville, Manassas, Harrisonburg and Bristol, serve the rest. The State Corporation Commission (SCC) oversees the investor-owned companies and co-ops.
